[@territheoldneedleshop996]

Really enjoyed seeing the pics of your wonderful booth! It’s so hot here in a Florida too so it’s hard to think of fall...or Halloween.....but I do remember one year when my brother and I dressed up as raggedy Ann and Andy.....with red mop heads for our hair....fun times!

[@lisahumbert942]

My favorite costume was one I made for my oldest son when he was 4. I was a new sewer and made him a cow costume which included a hood/face mask type type deal. All 5 of my children cycled through this costume and continues to be fondly remembered.

[@brendarobinson8836]

My favorite was a witch,every year. Love your flosstube

[@julievanderheide5794]

Your room at Galleria was amazing!! You have been so busy!! Thanks for everything you do for this community.

[@monicaboudreau6653]

My favorite costume was one made by my mother. I was probably 6 years old (I'm 72 now). She sewed a princess dress for me and hand sewed sequins all over it so it sparkled a lot. After halloween I wore it as often as I could - especially when I would roller skate. Always enjoy watching you!

[@jillbennett8334]

Wonderful video. I always love your “visits”, which is what the video feels like.

[@Lllr55]

So happy that Galleria was a big success for you!!😊 Gap tshirts and jeans are the best!! They last a long time! Enjoy the weekend and tour new project!!♥️

[@lauraboutin873]

So good to see your smiling face again! I enjoyed visiting with you...I had a plastic bunny mask that I wore several Halloweens until it became to small for my face. I remember that when I wiggled my nose, the mask moved and it made me feel like a real rabbit.

[@sherylscherba185]

Ahhhhh the broom incident of 2019 - makes me feel like I’m not that crazy after all. The broom lasted longer under your watch than it would mine. I felt the rage building up as you were telling the story. in the early 70’s I remember going as a hobo dressing up in my dads old clothes. Cheap and cheerful for sure.

[@sheliaymcc]

I had so much fun in your shop! I bought so many pieces of fabric!! The sing-along was fun and thank you for standing next to me. So flattered. Great video as always. Posting link to Facebook: Sunshine Stitchers to show everyone my FlossTube singing debut.

[@deannaellett1906]

My favorite Halloween costume was a ray of sunshine costume I made for my daughter when she was 2 - it was soooo darling. What a great Gallaria you had, attending is on my wishlist. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!

[@theresarowan3622]

My favorite Halloween costume was also my oldest memory. It was a bride costume and my Mom let me wear lipstick. Felt sooo pretty.

[@mcnelleyfarms]

Missed you! Congratulations on a successful show and for finishing your HRH. Loved the video! Spent the weekend at a retreat in Knoxville. Your name was thrown around like your broken broom. Everyone loves Theresa!! ❤️❤️ Have a great week.

[@aprilroberts7131]

When I was about 10, my paternal grandmother made me a super-cool fairy princess costume: a fuchsia colored, shiny, glorious thing that swished when I walked. She put metallic gold trim on the hem and sleeves, and she cut a length of matching cord for a belt. My dad and mom kindly made a spray-painted gold crown and star wand out of a dowel rod, posterboard, and gold glitter. I think of my grandma whenever I am looking at cording and trim, and it's always a lovely memory.

[@justinerogers1353]

You are such a great retailer. Congratulations. You deserve all your success. Love the idea of changing things on subsequence days and you have such a lot of stock.

[@susanstohlman3613]

I need to just say, you make me smile with your podcasts.......and that’s a good thing. Thank you!

[@imclueless1]

My fav Halloween costume was when I dressed up like a witch my baby as my cat. Your room looked awesome. Galleria would be awesome to see. All the famous designers I’d be star struck.

[@sharondauz880]

Thanks for another great video. My favorite Halloween costume was when my husband and I went as Bonnie and. Clyde.

[@judycoachestitchesandthrea6269]

Loved your video! My favorite costume was one I made for my daughter when she was not quite two, I made her a pumpkin stuffed it up with poly fill, every time she fell down she would roll. She won first place because who could not vote for a pumpkin drinking her bottle.

[@bridgetpregeant7697]

I don't remember how old we were but my youngest sister dressed as little red riding hood and I was her grandma. Fast forward, this past May I gave her Red by Miribilia for her birthday in memory of that halloween. Cats are my favorite, took in some kittens last summer (2018) that I found starving on the bank of a river where me and my youngest had gone to fish from the banks. Three survived, have one away and kept the other two. Grand total of 7 pets at home - 2 dogs, big dogs, 3 cats, and 3 ball pythons....chaos but we love 'em.

[@SAScheidt]

My favorite Halloween costume was one I did for my son, it was Eric Draven from the movie The Crow. One of my favorite movies!

[@nanking4954]

Thank you for showing your Galleria booth, loved it all! My favorite adult Halloween costume was for an office party, I dressed as a 50's Car Hop complete with my shoe skates & coin changer and skated around the room holding my tray of fake food glued on to it ~ ended up winning a cash prize!

[@PegC52]

So sad I missed that show! My favorite costume was an Indian princess. We made a teepee in or red flyer wagon, where I sat, as my brother pulled me around.

[@mirili3836]

Hey Teresa, I'm glad you're back again. Congrats on your show at Galleria, as I could see it was a success. Happy Stitching! Xoxo

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Your booth at Galleria looks amazing! Love your Hawks Run, so beauutiful. Marilyn

[@julietippie3623]

Just can't imagine how much work went into Galleria for you. Your booth was fantastic. Happy to see that Ham Rock got to go too! My favorite Halloween costume was a headless horseman costume my mom made for me when I was still in grade school. I can remember parading through the classrooms and being so proud of it because the older kids were all like...ooooh, look at the headless horseman. My mom & I talk about this costume around Halloween every year and are so upset that we don't have a picture of it.

[@janetfrantz2203]

We didn't do Halloween when I was young. I did make a clown suit for my oldest daughter to wear when she was young. Her younger sister and two cousins also wore it. Glad you had a great time at Galleria.

[@MamaBojangles59]

I love your needle minder display. I have a mirrored closet in my craft room and I put sheet metal on the back and stick them to that.

[@sandylarson8952]

Glad to see you too. I use the scrapbooking boxes in lieu of project bags. I stitch other things than cross stitch and the boxes hold patterns sometimes books, q-snaps, small scroll rods, balls of perle cotton, pincushions. They stack nicely. The joy is in the stitching.

[@melissademas3000]

I was about 9 I think. My sweet sweet daddy made my costume. I went as a hobo! I wore one of his old denim jackets, his old boots, his cowboy hat, and a bandanna tied to a stick. He used some face cream and pushed in coffee grounds for my beard stubble. I was so happy!

[@jackiestevens7365]

Your Agnes Platt is beautiful no matter how many berries it has. My favorite Halloween costume was my daughter at a year old when we turned her into a mini Statue of Liberty.

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Good to see you Theresa! Glad you had Graham to help you at Galleria. When you were showing the room I thought what a job just to carry all that in and out and display it and take it down! Love Jen’s gift I think she will like it! Get some rest woman!

[@deannatobias9401]

I don’t have a favorite one but I remember Mom and her friend, Judy, dressing up in full habits. Oh dear!!!

[@janiceferguson1152]

I enjoy hour videos. Glad you are back. My favorite costume was a witch costume my Aunt made for me when I was a little girl. She made it and put sequins on it including a pumpkin on the witch hat. I felt truly spooky. 🎃 👻

[@jenniferparr4808]

My favorite halloween costume was a cowgirl outfit. Had a little black skirt with fringe and a black vest to match! I got black cowboy boots, but I secretly wanted red boots like the neighbor girl! Love your videos! Thanks for all the information on samplers you give!

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

HRH. Looks great. Glad you had a good show. 🌻🌻🌻

[@nevadastitcher]

You kept me company while I was sorting my craft room out! A labor of 💕 love! I was putting patterns back in order and made a new organized basket of ribbons, wools, velvets, and other trims. I love your videos and your Galleria room was a stitchers dream come true!! My favorite Halloween costume was probably a scarecrow back in junior high.

[@jodischell2224]

I was totally laughing out loud when you were describing how to get the same look that you did on Christmas at Hollyberry Farm! My favorite costume was Casper!

[@MistyPursel]

Good to see you back! I could relate to everything you were saying about how busy you have been and I could totally imagine having the same reaction to the mop. :) Glad things are starting to calm down for you a bit! Have a great Sunday!

[@SuperPeacerose]

Congratulations on finishing Hawk Run Hollow. Looks Great!!

[@sheribisbee3103]

My favorite costume has to be the maid Mariann costume I made and wore to get married in on Halloween night 1997!!! I enjoy watching you and your videos.

[@christybearden9033]

Glad to see you back! Enjoyed meeting you at Galleria, even if my wallet cried..😂. I think my favorite costume would have to be waaaaay back, when I was in kindergarten. I remember my mom making me a big, sparkly pink princess dress for the school costume parade. I was a very shy little girl and that dress made me feel so special! ❤️

[@margaretbrewster7495]

I made my husband and me a raggedy Ann and raggedy Andy costume for a Halloween party. Our faces were completely covered except for eye holes. So fun-no one knew us. Later used them when taking our small children trick or treating.

[@kaylowry4188]

Great video. Thanks for your time and sharing ❤️❤️ not many memories of Halloween costumes but my mom could usually whip something up quickly 😃

[@lisanepsund5577]

My favorite Halloween costume was actually one I made for my son when he was about two - it was a cow costume and he was so cute!

[@rebeccamoore1268]

So Happy to see you have recovered a little from Galleria. Your booth was awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I know you will enjoy the Midwest Cross-stitchers retreat at the Amana’s. It’s a really cool place. I use to live close to it and would go frequently for day trips to treat myself. Thanks to Graham for his wonderful help to you at the show. You certainly made the show for me as you were the primary reason I came up. One of my favorite Halloween costumes as a kid (4 or 5 years old) was being a witch. I remember having a big pointy hat. I’m pretty sure the hat was bigger than I was. Have a wonderful month, until your next video. 😎

[@aef2571]

Original Pakistani Sari it was beautiful and my favorite!!! Glad you are back!! Thanks for letting us know about Applesauce ... hope all is getting better!

[@imclueless1]

Omg your village is gorgeous. Those boxes Costco sells a set really cheap. I use them for large projects too. Thx for visiting

[@hollypaxton9796]

Great video! Glad you had a great time at Galleria.

[@lisahurst8565]

I'm so glad Ham rock was able to attend Galleria. My favorite Halloween costume was a lizard costume that I made with a big paper mache head. It was crazy and a real head turner. Some mice eventually chewed it up and made a nest in it but it was great fun while it lasted.

[@jenniferkeeney305]

It was so great to see you, and I'm so glad you had a good time at Galleria! I'm going to be attending your class at The Silver Needle in November...I am so excited!!! I hope Ham Rock will attend😁

[@njheise]

Just listening to all the stuff you did in September made me tired ! Amazing display /shop at Galleria... didn’t have Halloween growing up in other countries but I loved to see my sister dress my niece up as a pumpkin when she was a baby and take her kids trick or treating when they were little ...

[@AlbaStitcher]

Hellllo I need to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. You always show wonderful projects, cool unusual stuff plus great chat. I don't live in the USA so seeing your set up at Needlework Galleria is super exciting for me. Happy stitching & thanks for being you 😀

[@kristimartin3427]

My friend and I went to the bar wearing Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes! We placed 2nd and had a really good time!

[@the_dogeared_stitcher]

Your Galleria shop looked awesome!! Congrats on your Hawk run hollow finished piece it looks great in the frame and I love how it's a close fit too. My favourite Halloween costume was when I was dressed as Oliver Hardy and my friend was Stan Laurel, I was a teenager at the time and had a pillow stuffed into my shirt, I think I wore my dads suit and we got bowler hats from somewhere! I had the little moustache too! Glad to see you back on floss tube.

[@kathyeggleston1725]

I don’t really remember any special costume for me. But probably 30 years ago, I made my husband a Donald Duck costume. Before retirement he was a junior high math teacher. He loved wearing it each year. He still often gets it out and visits people or business on Halloween 🎃 . He enjoys it, so it makes me happy!! Truly enjoyed watching your video. I never thought about how much work it takes to set up a booth! Wow!

[@deborahwatkins1493]

Halloween was never given much attention by my parents when I was growing up. I do remember trick or treating one year and wearing a Casper mask. :-)

[@susanmorelli4519]

Always love when you make a video and today you made my day! ❤ The Halloween costume that comes to my mind was Wilma Flintstone. Back in the day when the Flintstones was very popular. I even had life size paperdolls of them. Wish I still had all my paperdolls. ☺ Hsppy stitching! 🙋‍♀️❤🐈

[@marla_a]

Favorite halloween costume: my mom drew a playing card Queen on a sheet for me. Thanks for your videos!

[@margaretlyons8764]

I grew up in the late 50’s and then the 60’s. We made up our own costumes with what we had. Most times I was a hobo. This one time I was Aunt Jemimma! So funny no one recognized me! I don’t plan on running for office, so I think I am safe.

[@idacole2265]

Great show as always. Nevada was celebrating 125 years of statehood and my mom by hand stitched me the long dress with puffy sleeve and a hooped petty coat. Halloween is Nevada’s birthday.

[@monicagoodreau734]

My favorite Halloween custom was the Tooth Fairy. I was working at a Nursing Home. My wand was a tooth brush. I passed out the silver wrapped Hersey kisses and told all the residents they were fillings. It was fun!

[@KittenStitcher]

Monica, you won my drawing -- please e-mail me with your address! - T

[@rebeccasewing]

I'm amazed you tried so many times to work with the broom before losing it. I've noticed as I"m growing older my level of patience has really diminished. WOW! Hawk Ryn Hollow looks fantastic!!!!

[@betsywashburn9106]

I went as little bopped with the crook for herding my sheep. My dad always had good ideas for costumes.

[@tangd4357]

Always love your videos! My favorite Halloween costume will always be dressing up as Wonder Woman when I was a tiny little thing...Lynda Carter was my role model during that time. Now I need to go to my stash and start a Hawk Run Hollow sampler thanks to your beautiful finished piece ;)

[@danellaldrich-quick466]

One of my best friends and I dressed up as elves - we liked them so much that we wore them while riding our bikes around the neighborhood during the summertime 😁 we were such dorks - we must have been 12 or 13? Glad we lived in the country lol.

[@jillipepper5353]

You can make pillows out of too small t-shirts👍🏻 .I don’t really remember my costumes from when I used to dress up but as kids we usually dressed as witches, ghosts, clowns or cowboys / cowgirls and some other socially incorrect in this day and age. I love seeing the little ones who are so excited and then a little later they are hanging over the parents shoulder half asleep. The last costume I probably wore was my majorette costume that we used to wear when we were in parades. Hope you take some time for you, we don’t want you to get burnt out. 💖🙋🏼

[@traceythompson4898]

Another fun and informative video! Your room at Galleria was amazzzzing! Did not have a favorite Halloween costume growing up-all of our costumes were original costumes coming out of the back junk room. We had to be creative!

[@trishsmith4573]

My favorite halloween costume was not one that I wore personally but one that I had made for my husband. I made all of the costumes for my husband and children for years. the parties that we went to always included a contest for the best costume and for years my husband's costumes won first place. He went as "The Mummy" the first year he won. I made a muslin unde-rsuit then literally ripped strips of muslin and sewed them on row by row. We found a Mummy full head cover rubber mask to top it off. He is 6'5" so you can imagine how terrifying he was when he entered the room. He totally got into character as well! He also won as the Jolly Green Giant and the Tin Man. Those were fun times . . .

[@carlaburgoon744]

I worked at a place where every Halloween we dressed up and had a contest. I made myself a Snow White costume and won first place. It was a lot of fun. I love peanut butter toast too. Your store looked great!

[@elizabethmartinez19]

When I was a kid I dressed up as a witch several times - it was a pretty simple costume, as I recall. But as an adult, after I moved to Little Rock, I went to a couple of Halloween parties with the singles group at my church and won first prize both times. For one, I dressed as a cat (tuxedo cat!) I wore a white turtleneck under a black cardigan and black pants, white gloves and shoes, with a stuffed black leg warmer as a tail. I also buckled my two cats' kitten collars together to wear around my neck and made a big round cardboard "tag" that said, "I've had all my shots!" Another year I wore the bridesmaid dress from my younger sister's wedding, including the shoes, and carried a little pumpkin -type of gourd with little rubber mice attached to it and went as Cinderella.

[@juliegomery2792]

HI, Theresa! Good to see you again. SO glad the weekend was successful for you . I join with the others to thank you for all the hard work you put in to making lovely things available for us to purchase and enjoy through your online shop, your visiting Galleria and teaching and your designing! And your videos. I know they are a lot of work and I really appreciate and enjoy them,.. Hope you have a great time looking through your things and starting a new project. I can so relate to the mop story!! My favorite Halloween costume was also our cheapest ones. One year, as a family we dressed up as the people from the movie Signs. We wore regular clothes, but had our aluminum pointy hats to keep the aliens from reading our minds.. FuN!

[@DLNYTube]

Glad to know that some housework causes you to smash! My fav costume was a Queen Victoria velvet dress that I wore for a company Halloween contest. I lost to a restaurant server! Huh! Good to see you back. You are one of my favs. Cheers.

[@shoniewright2878]

My favorite Halloween costume was Sam from "Trick 'r Treat". It was hot that year but it was fun.

[@kathycary4798]

I went as Pinocchio....I had a green felt hat with a feather, shorts with suspenders, and of course a long long nose. Great memory!

[@findingjudi]

Great to see you! When I was in grade school i dressed up as a hockey player. My dad’s gear, so you can only imagine how hilarious it looked on me. 😂

[@cherylbell7897]

So glad ur back! We miss you too and miss watching your flosstubes cause they are wonderful! Take some time for you, rest up, and take care. Don’t know if this is my favorite costume but one year when my boys were very small I made Raggedy Andy costumes for them, Raggedy Ann for me and another Andy for my husband. He was a good sport and wore it but I don’t think he liked it one bit! 😂

[@moosemom2010]

Congratulations on finishing Hawk Run Hallow! Back in the early 70’s I dressed up as a witch for Halloween. I used green eye shadow all over my face because back in the old days, you didn’t have the party stores for Halloween 🎃 It took me a good time scrubbing to get it all off😂 Michele

[@loreenmcquaid6033]

I was at our state fair in MA and I noticed the same thing about quilts, they far out numbered the cross stitched entries. Enjoy some time off, you worked for it.

[@audreyvorkoeper7054]

My favorite costume was one my mother made for me. It was a princess costume that I was able to wear as pajamas after Halloween. I loved that costume!

[@sharonwurm4382]

You had me laughing with the Willie Wonka parody - wow! Your room looked amazing. It was nice visiting with you while I stitched this morning. My favorite quirky Halloween costume was when I was a freshman in college - I thought I’m was dressing like Pat Benatar but I actually ended up looking like a Kiss groupie with a star around one eye. I thought I looked amazing at the time 🤔. Thanks for sharing your stitching and glad you had a successful Galleria!

[@kandaykerr3653]

I would have smashed that broom the second time the head fell off! So happy you had the theme song done at Galleria.

[@danabexten3607]

My favorite costume was a princess costume my mom bought me in the fifth grade. I felt so beautiful when I wore it.

[@dgmans76]

My favorite costume is a princess.

[@jomayo3621]

Loved this video- your sense of humour was much needed today. And your room really did look like paradise x

[@bonniewinckler7802]

Welcome back. You always make me happy to spend time with your videos. Thank you for being so generous with your information and sharing your self in the process. ❤️

[@lanachapman1318]

[@nancyhofmeister9420]

Gee, I thought I was the only person who every destroyed something that refused to cooperate and function as designed and intended. Thanks for telling us about it.

Hi Teresa great video... Wowww lots o craftystash you took with you... beautiful finishes... I finished My Token of Love before we went on holiday tis on my f/b. page bt forgot to take a picture on my phone to put on instagram will send you one today... Happy stitching... xx Louisa...

[@phyllislundy8803]

Nice meeting you at Galleria! Your room was awesome! I’ve stitched Summer At Hollyberry and have the Christmas to start. I like your fabric choice and that frame! I don’t remember a lot about my Halloween costumes other than a white sheet with eyes cut out to be a ghost!

[@Jackie-gr1pn]

My favorite costume has to be Cher. My friend was Sonny. We still laugh about it from time to time.

[@pauladuda1537]

One of my favorite costumes was when I dressed up as Super Grover 😂

[@cmdebi]

Cousin it from the Adams’s family. An an old dress hat from my dad and a grass skirt from Hawaii my aunt bought me. All costumes growing up were homemade. Spent a good month thinking of what to be and how to make it. Good memories

[@carolyncrandall710]

Another awesome video. Love seeing your Galleria room ... my CC would have been in total meltdown !! Glad you had a good time. Hugs and take care. ♥️♥️😊

[@patriciaf2558]

So happy to see you again! My favorite Halloween costume was one I made for my daughter when she was about 6 years old. Thanksgiving dinner table, with her head being the turkey on the platter, table surface was made using a cardboard box draped in a table cloth, glued plates, bowls (plastic ware) on the table surrounding her head. She looked cute as a roasted turkey!

[@karenkinard6951]

Love your videos. You are great. My favorite Halloween costume was made by my mother when I was about six years old, 67 years ago. She made the most beautiful Snow White costume including shoes.

[@terzalowdermilk7268]

I was a gyspy once as a kid and I loved that costume for some reason . Have missed your videos.

[@tcull1216]

My favorite costume was when my mom made me a Sarah Sanderson homemade costume. It was terrible and I wore a horrible wig but I LOVED it and was so proud of my mom! So glad Galleria went so well for you guys!

[@lauren2884]

Love watching your videos. My favorite costume I wore was when I was Katniss from the Hunger Games. Which I just saw a new book is coming out, yay!

[@sharonmorrison4517]

Wrapped all up in gauze and went to a party as a mummy. Loved it. I always enjoy your videos. So much good information.
